She is from the planet Loza who comes from a race of exotic elfin magic users. She is a thinker of and lover of life. Lavana loses her wings in the fourth episode of the series, but replaces them with mechanical ones built by the Brats.
“Lavana is a gothic, fairy-winged thirteen-year-old from Loza, a land of exotic, elfin magic users who share a communal consciousness. When the Shock attacked, all the Lozians went into a group dream state. The next thing she knew, Lavana found herself alone on the Planetoid. But she wasn't alone for long before the other Brats appeared. With magical sensitivities, she was the first of the Brats to sense that their arrival on the Planetoid was not an accident. She is convinced the Planetoid is somehow alive, has drawn them there and has had its own long-standing plans to destroy the Shock, in which the Brats play a small, but pivotal role. It is a role Lavana is willing to play, to rid the Super Cluster of the Shock scourge, and to find her people, whom she can sense still dreaming their communal dream, somewhere in the galaxy.” —Henson Company press kit bio[1]
